Supposedly there was an official ATT Press Release with the $349 pricing that got taken down. That would be a better reference if someone had a copy of it.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
I would lol.

Some thing like info packs sent out to official reviewers? ;). But yeah, if they had a commercial out this would be so much easier :p. It would also cause a **** storm and result in like 10$ price drop in att stock lol. I beileve their official press release that peeps talk about is their facebook / twitter updates.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
In the end we are going to be the ones that get screwed and end up paying 499.99 dollars and change in taxes for this phone. AT&T is doing what all corporations do to consumers which is take our money and step all over us! Look at what Apple is doing with its iPhone 4 antenna issue. Basically saying our phone is ****ed and we knew it but still sold it to you so here is a bumper stfu.

I just did not want to use my upgrade on the phone because I was trying to get two (one for me and one for my brother). Oh well I know i will have this phone sooner or later.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
is your bro younger? He'd rpobably enjoy that aria which has a lower off contract price. If he doesnt get a smart phone then it should be easier to find a cheap alternative. Sucks that this didnt pull out for you though.
[Captivate General] NOSintake:
I just noticed...both Facebook and Twitter pages, on the side say "Official ATT....". That to me means that what they write on there, is binding right? That's like having a misprint flyer for a week, you cut your loses for that week and fix the mistake. I'll be sure to highlight that when I go in on Sunday.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
Well he is a year younger than me so hes not that young considering I am 21. Well he recently broke his iPhone 3G and we got excited when we saw the off contract price for the Captivate but its not looking that promising anymore. Either way I win since I am the primary account holder and it is my upgrade. :D
[Captivate General] systoxity:
haha, nice.
[Captivate General] drleospaceman:
I'm making one now ;)

edit* man these are tedious to make, lol.
[Captivate General] NOSintake:
Just spoke with an AT&T sales rep online, and he said it's $349 no contract, $274 for a 1 year contract (that they didn't sell online), and $199 for a 2 year contract. Still speaking with him now actually, but I took a screen shot of that, and hopefully I can save the log when we are done.
[Captivate General] drleospaceman:
Ok let's see if this works:

[Captivate General] systoxity:
dude ur vid got fkin jacked. shame, i wanted to see it.

and nos he really said that? i think you deff deserve one for 350. to the best of your knowledge your latest info says 350.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
It is supposed to be 500 but it rings up at 350 still.
[Captivate General] NOSintake:
Yup, that's what he said. I actually ended up talking to ANOTHER sale rep later in the day, and he said the same. Here is a picture of both. This was after I had already printed what the first rep said (I don't have a printer in my apt, so I had to go to the library, and it was closed when I spoke with the second rep).
[Captivate General] derek4484:
They can change the price at any time they want. It doesnt "officially" release until the 18th anyways. If you walk in the store and they have a display price of 350 and then they ring it up for 499, then that is wrong. But if you walk in and they tell you its 499 and you argue about something that was posted on twitter on the 15th you have no argument. If you dont like the price, dont buy it. Nobody's got a gun to your head. You cant claim bait and switch if you know the price is 499 before you even get to the store.

Captivate - $229 Non-commitment via LetsTalk (Walmart)

Looks like the best bet it to order first thing tomorrow morning as their order verification office is closed on the weekends.

LetsTalk which is associated with Walmart is selling the captivate for $229 non-commitment. If you are ok with renewing your contract, it is FREE through them as well.

Just bought mine, total out the door with Overnight Shipping was $248. They have already charged my account. Hopefully it gets shipped out first thing Monday Morning.

Screen shot attached.
[Captivate General] pnebleu:
Purchase from AT&T corporate store

I was able to buy the Captivate from a corporate AT&T store for the $349 price this afternoon ~1pm CST.

Proof:

h ttp://twitpic.com/show/thumb/26n5hf.png

Update: Sorry, was in a hurry. I had intended to.

I was not eligible for an upgrade until Dec. So I bought it at full price, no contract or extension of the current contract.
[Captivate General] nxt:
People, if you get it for cheaper than $499, write what you're paying for.

Contract upgrade, full price, full price didn't give your at&t info at all, what?

Would be helpful than just saying "i got it for $300"... "I got it for $350"
[Captivate General] Denoh:
Have the order needs to be verified from letstalk.com. In the meantime, went to a At&t authorized dealer in Brooklyn Center MN and got one for $349.99 no commitment price.
[Captivate General] DJNgoma:
Any luck at this moment in time that one would be able to score the phone for less than $499 with no-commitment :)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
hey everyone, i was wondering what the best way to partition an SD card is? ive seen alot of talk, many people said you can do it right from the phone, is this true?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
In "settings"-->"SD card and phone storage" you can first unmount and then format either the internal or the external SD card.

I apologize if this is a double post but how do I access the app market in the supere rom. Also can I install apps in some other way other than the app store?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
As with just about every ROM I've ever tried, you just open the app called "Market." If it's not there, then you did not install the ROM as the instructions told you to.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
if you are missing the market means you need to install the base_build(with gapps)then flash the rom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] XERO_Racer:
just wanna ask everyone but everytime i plug in my phone to use as device storage on Windows 7 it asks me if i wanna scan and fix files on the storage card :confused:

is this bad for my Micro SD Card??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Scanning for errors isn't bad for your microSD card. If anything, it's good for the sake of your files. Over the time you've owned your microSD, you may have unplugged it from your computer without properly ejecting it first, corrupted files through daily use on your phone, soft reset your phone as files were being written to it, etc., and all these theoretical situations can take their toll on the FAT32 file system. Scanning for errors simply checks the integrity of the file system and makes corrections as needed. If you are getting this message in Windows, I highly recommend scanning for errors to prevent future issues and to get rid of that message. Most likely you won't find anything wrong, and even if you do, Windows will repair it.

[Hero CDMA General] dsMA:
Is the only way to change the permission of a folder through root explorer?

I tried connecting my phone to my pc and then using the adb shell command and then issuing the chmod 755 system/xbin but i got an error message that says "read only file system"?
[Hero CDMA General] mbellett:
Did you turn on "mount r/w" at the top of the page?
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Exactly, turn mount r/w on using the button at the top. Then to change the folder permissions long press the folder and select the permissions tab.

For using the chmod command, while in adb shell you would have to type out "su" then "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system" so it won't be read only anymore.

hi all : i have one set of HTC MEGA TOUCH 2 that it hang on 3 color boot menu.

i can't do hardspl or flash any flash file on to it , plz help me what should i do ?
[Touch2 General] L.J.Silver:
1) When the phone is off, press and hold the button VOLUME DOWN (left side of the phone).

2) While holding the volume button, you press short the ON / OFF button and let it go.

3) If you see a warning message on the display, release the VOLUME-button

4) Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset or press any other key to cancel the reset.

Good luck....
[Touch2 General] hogman_1:
I have a HTC Touch2 that is tuck in the Bootloader.

I have removed the battery and attempted the hard reset, as soon as it comes on it goes straight to the bootloader screen.

If the phone is connected to the PC, it says USB in the white band.

If not is says serial.

No SD card fitted, no SIM card fitted.

Any ideas?
[Touch2 General] derdepp:
Flash with a stock ROM in USB-mode should work for you
[Touch2 General] hogman_1:
I thought you could only flash via USB if the device has been Hard-SPL'd? and you need to have an activesync connection?
[Touch2 General] derdepp:
Flashing with a stock ROM works without Hard-SPL, and as far as I know you can flash it when it says 'USB' in the bootloader mode. Correct me if Im wrong or else try...
[Touch2 General] hogman_1:
To be honest, I fixed the phone without doing any of that. There seemed to be a problem with the USB port on the phone. I disconnected the battery and put some alcohol into the port (IPA!! not beer - lol) left it for a few seconds and then cleaned it out with compressed air. When I put the battery back in, it booted up fine.
[Touch2 General] derdepp:
wow... nice

why the usb-port?
[Touch2 General] L.J.Silver:
strange...:cool:
[Touch2 General] flywin:
hey guys, I see I have a problem from the damaged tape volume, so how can I make HR and enter bootloader
[Touch2 General] eddor:
solved!

This man is my hero. I *very* carefully extracted a little bit of lint that was stuck right at the back of my HTC USB port in my touch2, with a drawing pin (tack for the americans).

While I would not reccomend using a pin, as it may damage the port, it fixed my phone right up, it now no longer gets stuck on the bootloader (tri-colour screen), and it also fixed a problem in which I got a reccurring error telling me to remove the USB headset as it doesn't work (or something to that effect) while nothing was actually plugged into it.

Thanks again, hogman!

Hallo,

I installed "system-froyo-15-07-10_15.tgz". The most things are fine, but I have big problems to run the internet on my XDA Orbit 2.

I use:

#alloctest 0x2000
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
# The following kernel parameters are useful
# ppp.nostart	- Set ppp.nostart=1 to disable starting the ppp connection on boot
# msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax - The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller
# pm.sleep_mode - The mode used when the phone is off
# 0=Power Collapse Suspend, 1=Power Collapse, 2=Apps Sleep,
# 3=Slow Clock and Wait for Interrupt 4=Wait for Interrupt
# Default is 1, use 1 for best power savings
# board-htcpolaris.panel_type - Panel type used to power the panel off and on
# 0=Don't power off the panel (Default)
# 1=Sony 2=Topoly 3=Topoly (probably just the same as 2)
# lcd.density - Defaults to 160, 128 shows more on screen

What can I do to run the internet with 3G (UMTS by o2)?

Your only chance of getting this to work is ripping it from various Donut ROMs that include an Eclair browser and pushing it to /system/app or just intalling it. If it doesn't install, it won't work. I don't think offical AOSP even supports multi-touch.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
To apply an update, copy the androidupdate.tar file to the andboot folder on SD card, then enter the install menu by powering on the phone,. waiting for the 'press dpad' message and press and hold dpad button, volume up, or centre or the screen until the install menu appears, navigate to item 4, install update, wait until the update is installed, then when the install menu appears again, choose 'fix permissions', let that finish, then you can either 'clear dalvik cache' or simply quit and let android boot normally.

The fix permissions step is almost always required, the clear dalvik cache is not, but it won't hurt anything.

so just read it and follow the steps and flashe any good ROM and then hard reset it by below steps

1. Hold Camera and Record button and press reset. Hold it a while, until you'll see three options at the top. Choose:

* Enable KITL: No

* Clean Registry Hive: Yes

* Format Storage: Yes

& leave it you got your working screen again if device is not broken

2. You can add the files which you wish to autoinstall after hard reset to this folder. But, dont forget to modify the \Storage Card\ExtROM\Config.txt accordingly.

3. Mark all cab files as read only.

You now have the Extended ROM back on your device but on the storage card this time.... Enjoy.
